    Right around 0:39, I adore how the piano music underneath Keala starts sounding like Gonna Get Over You by Sara Bareilles 😍 I love how Sara has such an iconic sound but can still create new music that doesn’t sound the same!
    I also love the bridge and wish it wasn’t cut 😭

      @Gert Van de Waals The final run for Waitress West End was supposed to be on July 2020, but due to covid it was closed in early March. Some fans said that the UK production was supposed to film the show but it never happened because of covid.
      Though, I think they’ve should have already filmed the show during Kat’s run.

      pretty much all broadway shows have a pro-shot for the new york archives which can only be accessed , there is potential down the line for more and more pro-shots to be released, particularly for shows that have been closed for some time or have the backing of big streaming companies like disney (like hamilton had)

      Idk, I love the movie AND the musical (Sara stan) but to me, going from film to musical to film again seems like it would kinda overshadow the original film. The film was written and directed and starred in by Adrienne Shelly who made it as a tribute to the love she had for her daughter, which is very special. As much as I’d love Sara’s incredible music for this show to reach the most ppl possible, just seems a bit disrespectful to an artist’s original vision/love letter to their child

    • @breannedalton2088

      They do have a pro shot of the broadway show, though I don’t believe it is the original cast, at the New York public library in an archive of most broadway proshots that are used to preserve theater and can only be accessed by specific people for certain usage.

    • @isthisryan7899

      American unions make it almost impossible to release professionally filmed stage productions unless you have the backing (and money) of companies like Disney.
      Even the original Broadway production of Spongebob was filmed in the UK because it was easier to film it internationally than to navigate the complex union laws in America.

      It's because this recording is of the original A.R.T. production (pre-broadway) and Jeanna de Waal played Dawn in that production. Kimiko Glenn, along with other OBC members such as Christopher Fitzgerald (Ogie) and Nick Cordero (Earl) didn't join the show until it transferred to Broadway.
